Benefits of technology

The patent is about a method to measure the UV transmittance of a solution while it is circulated through a flow cell that measures UV transmittance. The method also includes a step to stabilize the UV transmittance using a flocculant. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a reliable and consistent method for measuring UV transmittance of a solution.

Problems solved by technology

In the process of processing crude oil and its fractions, a problem arises due to decreased miscibility.
This problem corresponds to the separation of the wax component or asphaltene component in crude oil, and causes processing problems, including deposition in oil refining process equipment, fouling, and catalyst deactivation.
Asphaltene precipitation causes processing problems, including deposition in equipment, fouling, and catalyst deactivation.
However, this method has a problem in that measurement is not possible if the viscosity is high (55 cSt or higher at 100° C. or more) or the sediment content is high (0.5 wt % or higher).
However, these methods can measure dispersion stability only for crude oil, asphalt, and residual products, which have higher stability than upgraded oil.
These methods have a problem in that, when upgraded oil is tested, clogging occurs or peak observation is impossible.
However, this process has problems in that the representativeness of the sample is decreased due to loss of a certain portion of the sample, and errors in measurement occur due to filter clogging.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for measuring miscibility in oil using back titration. The apparatus includes: a flocculation solution storage unit; a flow cell including a UV transmitting member; a dissolving agent storage unit; a UV irradiation unit; and a measurement unit, wherein: a flocculation solution is stored in the flocculation solution storage unit; the flocculation solution circulates between the flocculation solution storage unit and the flow cell; the measurement unit measures the UV transmittance of the flocculation solution while the dissolving agent in the dissolving agent storage unit is supplied to the flocculation solution storage unit; the miscibility in the oil is calculated from the amount of dissolving agent supplied and a change in the UV transmittance measured by the measurement unit; and the miscibility is calculated based on a time point when the slope of increase in the UV transmittance changes.
